Howto: APT_PERFORMANCE_DATA

[Amos.Rosmarin]

Hi,

I've read in the px pdf about this env variable:

Set this variable to turn on performance data output generation.
APT_PERFORMANCE_DATA can be either set with no value, or be set to
a valid path which will be used as the default location for performance
data output.

I've added it as a user defined variable to a job and got to the conclution that I do not know howto use it

help needed

It's a form of a debugger that generally provide data on how things perform, as you obviously noticed.

My suggestion is that you play with it. Build a simple job, and read how it run. Run it 2 nodes, 4 nodes, et cetera.

Or...

Contact Ascential to provide you with someone who can teach you on how this work. Or contact the ADN web site.

Hi,
I also configured a simple job to have a user defined env var.
the env var is showing in the log for the run but no file is created.
I tried full path and directory path only but still no data seems to be generated.
have anyone successfully used this option?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Roy,

I gave $APT_PERFORMANCE_DATA the value "/tmp" and that produced files like "performance.5930" in /tmp directory.
There is a PERL script in ../PXEngine/bin called "performance_convert" that can convert the generated file to CSV.

Hope this will help. Regards.
